Our Charity in Honor of Kate

Our Baby Kate

Katherine Anne was born on June 26, 2006. Shortly after her birth...she was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia associated with the 22q chromosomal deletion. Kate was a trooper...endured 4 open heart surgeries, 5 heart catherizations and spent over 150 days in the hospital. On January 15, 2008, her heart gave out and she passed into her Heavenly Father's Arms. During her 568 days here on Earth...she was always smiling. We miss her immensely...but rejoice in her new pain-free Eternal Home.

It wouldn't be fair if Kate hogs all the attention on our family blog! Seth has been having lots of fun traveling over northern Indiana. Currently he is in Ft. Wayne with Nana and Oompa...and the doggies. He and Oompa have been enjoying the splash park at the Y. He is busy playing with the doggies and keeping Nana and Oompa straight on their trash and recycling habits. Today, when I called, Seth was getting a little time at "Seth's house" and lovin' on the kitty! Thanks everyone for lovin' on Seth....he is in great hands!

Seth cooling down while watering the flowers....who knew it was so hot....it is FREEZING in this hospital....Andy and I each have one sweatshirt down here...we are getting our use out of it!

Welcome to our blog...and thanks for sharing in our journey through this amazing ride called life! We are blessed...in many ways by our loving Savior. It is our hope and prayer...that this blog might bring you a little laughter...a little encouragement...a little hope...or a little of whatever you need to help you out today!

Our boys

Seth is our totally amazing 11 year old! He brings us nothing but complete joy. He loves soccer and basketball, school (especially reading and math), playing with friends and collecting any type of sports card. He excels in school in all areas and usually is a great big brother. He is a great kid with a super heart.

Grant is our "on the go" 5 year old! Grant loves to explore...and wants to be outside all the time. If he can't be outside, he loves to play Wii, board games and with his Legos. He wants more than anything to be big like Seth. He can make me laugh on almost a daily basis...and his hugs beat no other.
